Table Of Contents
It should be noted that whilst NavisWorks will try to collape items to the fewest number possible, it
may be necessary to prevent collapsing in some cases to preserve model fidelity. For example if an
item has properties or materials unique to itself, then collapsing would endanger this information, and
therefore it will not be collapsed.
The Close NWC/NWD files on load check box, if selected, turns off any streaming on loaded NWC
and NWD files, loading them into memory in their entirety, and then closing them. This allows other
programs to write to these files whilst they are in use.
Select the Create Parametric Primitives check box to enable creation of parametric models (models
described by formulae not vertices). Using this option allows you to get better looking visuals, faster
rendering, smaller memory footprint (especially when loading DGN and RVM files that contain
significant amounts of parametric data that will no longer need to be converted into vertices in
NavisWorks. Modifying this option will take effect when you next load or refresh file.
6. Temporary File Location. Select the Auto check box for NavisWorks to automatically select your
user Temp directory. Alternatively, if you prefer to select another location, clear this option and enter
the path accordingly.
